In most games, these explosive [[barrel]]s resemble a regular one, but can be identified from its fuse and "{{wp|TNT}}" painted on the front. A TNT Barrel can be picked up and thrown by the [[Kong]]s, like most other barrels, and it explodes upon hitting either an enemy, the ground, or a wall. The fiery explosion of a TNT Barrel defeats almost any type of enemy caught within the blast radius. | ||

A TNT Drum appears for the first time in the opening scene of ''Donkey Kong Country''. [[Cranky Kong]] uses it to wreck Donkey Kong's boom box, as retaliation for [[Donkey Kong]] knocking him out of the trees and ruining his phonograph. During gameplay, TNT Drums can be lifted, then tossed on the ground or a wall to explode, defeating any enemy standing in its explosion range. In ''Donkey Kong Country'', many [[bonus room]]s can only be entered using a TNT Barrel. They can also be utilized this way in the sequels, as well as in the ''[[Donkey Kong Land (series)|Donkey Kong Land]]'' games. In both the ''Donkey Kong Land'' series and [[Game Boy Color]] version of ''Donkey Kong Country'', TNT Barrels have a smaller blast radius. The Kongs do not get injured by running through a TNT Barrel's blast after they throw it. Contrarily, in ''Donkey Kong Country'', if the Kongs lift a TNT Drum and then put it down, it shakes and then immediately explodes, causing the player to lose a Kong. | A TNT Drum appears for the first time in the opening scene of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.

Some Kremling enemies hide in TNT Barrels and act as suicide bombers, sacrificing themselves in an attempt to destroy the Kongs. These include [[Kaboom]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', as well as [[Kracka]]s and [[Klasp]]s found in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Other Kremlings, namely [[Bazuka]]s, may shoot TNT Barrels out of their cannons, and the Kongs would have to avoid them. | Some Kremling enemies hide in TNT Barrels and act as suicide bombers, sacrificing themselves in an attempt to destroy the Kongs.

A barrel similar to TNT Barrels appears in the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]]. Here they are referred to as '''Barrel Bombs''' or '''Exploding Barrels''' and bear a resemblance to [[Blast Barrel]]s. They are seen during the first half of [[Booty and the Beast]], where [[King K.

Rool]] takes over [[Bluster]]’s Barrel Works and begins manufacturing exploding barrels. However, Donkey Kong chased off K. Rool and production was halted. | ||
In [[Kong for a Day]], K. Rool made a second attempt to seize control of the Barrel Works to manufacture more exploding barrels, but this time Donkey Kong foiled his plans before production could commence. | In [[Kong for a Day]], K.
